Spitfire Mk.XVI TD248 & Spitfire Mk.XIVe RN201 Skinpack

Spitfire Mk.XVI TD248 & Spitfire Mk.XIVe RN201 Skinpack


Full History of each plane included in the read me files in the download.

 

 

Spitfire TD248

 

This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXVI Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKIX that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use.

I finished this a while ago and something about it was really annoying to me - the real plane has a bubble canopy (which we don't have access to in the game) so after a week or so I decided to see if I could make the skin "look" like it has a bubble canopy - it turned out reasonably well so I'm now happy to share it.

 

This skin has been built to be used for the Mk.IX varients - it should fit them all except for the clipped wings as the lower wing roundels will get cut in half if you use it on them.

Sub note: this skin may also fit the MKVb varients (not Vc) with little difference so you may as well try it in those folders as well.

 

This skin was built using Fly By Shooters awesome MKVb template which I have adapted to fit the MKIX and added a few bits and bobs of my own.

 

 

Spitfire RN201

 

This skin is for the above mentioned aircraft and though we don't have a MKXIVe Spitfire in the game the real plane closely resembles the MKVIII (CW version) that we do have access to so this is what I chose to use. The only real difference in how it looks physically is that the real plane has a 5 bladed prop whereas we only have the use of 4 and also the real plane (having a Griffon engine) has distinctive raised elongated bulges just above the overhead valves which I have tried to fake onto the actual skin.

 

Stick this in your "SpitfireMkVIIICLP" skin folder and you are ready to go - note that it will more than likely fit the standard MKVIII as well so you may as well put it in that folder too. No Markings version included.

 

Template created by "Fly By Shooter" with elements from "Jesters Ink" and Myself.

 

 

 

Note to any skinners that have ever skinned a MK.IX - think for a second how much frustration I went through to get that red line along the fuselage of the TD248 skin lol.

Thanks for your work. I think the Spitfire is one of the most beautiful planes ever.
